Solving math story problems can be challenging! Engage students with this Thanksgiving-themed interactive Google slides activity to help them explore and make sense of math word problems. Students will solve multiplication & division word problems using digital moveable modeling pieces to show their mathematical thinking.

Do your students dread solving math word problems? 

Word problems can be so difficult for students because they struggle to carefully read the problems and identify the correct operation to solve them. I created this tool to make solving word problems fun and to help students model story problems in a variety of ways with easy-to-use moveable pieces to help visualize and make sense of math word problems. 

Do your students need more practice reading math word problems carefully?

This tool will help your students read math story problems more carefully by giving them tools to read and draw out the information in the story problem. The time they spend creating their drawing will help them think through the problem. 

Are you looking for a Thanksgiving math activity that is rigorous and based on standards?

The story problems include real-world situations so students can visualize the story problem and make sense of whether they should multiply or divide.
